Frequently Asked Question's

What types of disputes can be resolved? Any dispute that arises between two or more individuals or entities can be mediated. Divorce mediation can be especially effective when the issues are complex or when there is a high level of emotion surrounding the dispute.

What can I expect in a divorce mediation session? All parties participate in the divorce mediation session. Divorce mediation is not a process to determine guilt or innocence. The mediator assists the parties in clearly defining the issues in dispute, guides the communication process, helps participants resolve misunderstandings, walks the participants through exploring options and facilitates an outcome which meets the specific interests of the parties involved. Individuals are given the power to articulate their expectations and interests and craft a solution which directly meets these interests.

What is the mediator role? The mediator is an impartial third party with conflict resolution training and skills who assists people during the process of arriving at a mutually agreeable solution. In contrast to the traditional adversarial approach where a judge or arbitrator holds an evidentiary hearing, listens to the cases prepared by each party's counsel and makes a judgment - in divorce mediation, the mediator acts as a catalyst, helping to create possible solutions on which the parties can agree, facilitating the parties' negotiations and assisting in developing a written document.

What is the focus of divorce mediation? Although fact-finding to determine the origin of a dispute is an important part of the process, divorce mediation tends to focus on moving forward, resolving the dispute and constructing a foundation for any future relationship between the parties.

Do I need an attorney? Legal representation is not required. The language used in divorce mediation is normal everyday language. You may want to contact a divorce mediation friendly attorney after the process is over and have them review your Memorandum of Understanding. 

Does divorce mediation work? Yes. The divorce mediation process recognizes that each party and dispute brings unique interests and characteristics. The flexibility of the process allows participants to explore interests at stake, and, where necessary, the underlying sources of conflict. In divorce mediation, the parties consider a wider breadth of possible outcomes than is available in a court of law. Any solution is possible in divorce mediation. Because decisions are made by the participants, they retain ultimate control of the process and outcome.

Are divorce mediation agreements legally binding? A mediated agreement is usually expressed in a written document outlining the solution crafted by the parties. For this reason, performance under mediated agreements is generally high. If the parties choose, they can include a statement making this agreement enforceable at law.

How long does divorce mediation take? Many disputes can be resolved in a single session lasting only a few hours. More complex matters such as divorce and child custody may require several sessions. The divorce mediation process can generally be completed within hours, into weeks or months depending on the complexity of the dispute.
